I lose no sleep over this. I think people who do are just confused by language.
I'd say that if you examine your concept of "why", you find it presupposes existence.
But some people do like Tim Urban http://waitbutwhy.com/table/why-is-there-something-instead-of-nothing
I think that it is overkilling argument, as it may be applied to almost any question. Why Sun looks like a circle? Why we value human existence?
This "why" expresses some kind of lacking knowledge or confusion, but not exactly appropriate wording to really describe what is going on.
So our inability to find adequate wording for something as already incorporated into "why".
